Madison’s favorite Christmas tradition is here, and it’s as easy as 1-2-3… well, 4!

STEP #1: Choose your character – will you run or walk as a Santa, Elf, or Polar Bear?
STEP #2: Grab your costume! We’ve got you covered with character shirts, hats, and accessories.
STEP #3: Run or walk the 5K while soaking up all the festive holiday fun!
STEP #4: Celebrate at the North Pole Post-Race Party!

Though this is an untimed event, the first 25 runners to beat the Grinch will score a FREE slice of Ian’s Pizza!
